Cultural Awareness: The Hispanic Perspective and Alzheimer’s (with Dr. David Coon & Berta Carbajal)

Unique cultures and traditions surround us, built on passion which create a bond that celebrates heritage and history. For the Hispanic and Latino populations, this can often be celebrated with food, family, and music. But they’re also connected by the disproportional rate in which they face Alzheimer’s disease - more than 50% times more likely than non-Hispanic white counterparts. Dr. David Coon and Berta Carbajal from the Center for Innovation in Healthy and Resilient Aging at Arizona State University join the podcast to help untangle the challenges impacting the health disparity and efforts to improve it. Their efforts with the Promotores and fellow educators who assist with outreach, invite community members in to discuss options and learn about the vast support systems that exist.
